--- Comment #48 from tommy27 <[email protected]> ---
after many tests is clear that what causes the autocorrect problem is that we
have troubles to handle at the same time autocorrect entries with "--" and
"---" 

this is exactly Bug 67364 - FORMATTING: Autocorrect no longer functions
correctly when replacing two hyphens if also an entry with three hyphens exists

I marked Bug 67364 as DUPLICATE of current Bug 55292 but probably that was not
a correct choice so I'm considering to reopen that bug.

anyway I have an idea... why we don't stop "fighting" with this "---" corner
case and start using a unique key combination for em-dash?

my proposal would be to have:

.*--.*  for en-dash
.*__.*  for em-dash

my first tests show that with only these 2 entries we have correct replacement
of every possible text combination without any conflict and without need of
setting all those mixed patterns of hyphen/endash that did not work as
expected.

please give feedback to my proposal.
